An in-vitro comparative study of magneto holmium: YAG and fiber dust thulium fiber lasers—primary effects on ablation, retropulsion, fragmentation, and temperature changes using phantom urologic stones

When long pulse is not enough: inferior dusting efficiency of pulsed thulium:YAG compared with Ho:YAG and thulium fiber laser in a standardized in vitro renal model

Pulsed thulium: YAG (p-Tm: YAG) and thulium fiber laser (TFL) differ in pulse architecture despite similar wavelengths. We asked whether long-pulse p-Tm: YAG achieves ablation efficiency and thermal behaviour comparable to holmium: YAG (Ho: YAG) and TFL under standardized low-power dusting settings. Fifty-four BegoSton...

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with Holmium: YAG laser and Magneto technology versus Thulium Fiber Laser: it’s time to compare

Pulsed Thulium:Yag, Thulium Fiber, and Holmium:Yag Lasers in Mini-PCNL: A Three-Arm Comparative Cohort Study

Background & Objectives: Laser lithotripsy is the standard energy source for mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL). Although Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG), Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL), and pulsed Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG) are currently available for clinical use, direct comparisons among all three laser technologies are lack...

Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Pulse-Modulated Holmium:YAG Laser and Thulium Fiber Laser in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery for Dusting Kidney Stones.

PURPOSE High-power lasers have revolutionized the treatment of stones during retrograde intrarenal surgery, but single center and retrospective studies comparing stone-free rates and efficiency of the two most commonly used modalities, pulse modulated Holmium:YAG and Thulium Fiber Laser, have had conflicting results. W...

Comparison of ultrasonic lithotripsy with Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy during percutaneous nephrolithotomy for 20–40 mm low-hardness renal calculi: a propensity score-matched study

Evaluation of StoneSense™ automatic target recognition in thulium fibre laser lithotripsy: a multi-model in vitro study.

OBJECTIVES To determine the maximal stone-to-fibre firing distance permitted by StoneSense™ (IPG Medical, Marlborough, MA, USA) automatic target recognition (ATR) integrated into a thulium fibre laser (TFL) system, and to evaluate its effects on ablation efficiency, energy delivery, and thermal dispersion in complement...
